IT’S SNOWMAGEDDON 2015 IN NYC! Baby…..it’s cold outside! Really cold! I’m back after a long hiatus! I got busy acting in, and co-producing a play, and took some time off! I am happy to be back, and hope to go back to posting more often! I had fun in the blizzard today with my boyfriend Chris, who snapped these photos with my very cold, and wet iPhone. lol Stay warm and safe East Coast! XOXOXO JULIE 😉

A Parka is a must have for cold weather, and this gorgeous Dawn Levy one is my favorite! This style I am wearing here has sold out, but a very similar one is on sale now at Bloomingdales! Buy it HERE! Click HERE to see other coats by Dawn Levy. Click the links below for similar Parkas on sale now!

I love neon coats in Winter, and J Crew makes the best ones! I love mixing patterns like leopard with bright colors, it’s the perfect way to brighten up the cold Winter months! Boots: Stuart Weitzman, Bag: Alexander Wang, Sunglasses: Karen Walker *************************Shop this look below!!!!*****************************

I love leopard and studs, even in the cold weather. 😉 This coat is from Asos, and the bag is vintage Chanel. My Chloe Susanna boots are easily one of my favorite pairs of shoes- in all seasons! Shop this entire look below!

I love layering fur vests over coats to make them warmer, and to change up the look of old coats in your closet. Here I put a fur vest over my Mackage coat. The fur trapper hat is a great finishing touch. Shop this entire look below!!!

We had our first real snow storm of 2014 in NYC! I wore my extra thick and cozy Isabel Marant for H&M Sweater, but even that could not keep me from freezing. Trust me, I ran inside right after taking these photos for some hot tea and blankets! LOL

I still love bright colors in Winter, I think they brighten up your mood. I also love the print on this sweater, and even though it sold out fast, I found tons of sweaters that achieve the same look! Check below for all the links! Details on outfit below!

By the way…. my SensatioNail mani has lasted me over two weeks since Christmas! I seriously love this at home gel polish!

I scored this amazing parka with my friend at the Aloha Rag sample sale downtown. What a steal! I love wearing neon accents in Winter, it makes the cold days less dreary. This 3.1 Phillip Lim bag has been in heavy rotation since I got it. It fits everything. I love this color too. Details on everything below. Stay warm!

Happy Black Friday! Have you survived the shopping mayhem? It seems to get crazier every year. I am going to share my Black Friday scores with you in a special post tomorrow. 😉 As for today, I wore black and gold, which is one of my favorite color combos. I got this Michael Kors coat on sale at Macy’s. There are TONS of deals online now, so if there is anything you have been lusting after, now is the time to buy! The boots are Alexa Chung for Madewell, which were an Ebay score since they are sold out everywhere. The calf hair helps to keep the feet warm, which is welcome in the current freezing temps NYC is experiencing! Stay warm everyone! Details on everything I am wearing, and similar looks, are all below! Let me know what you think in the comments!

Ahhh, Winter in NYC……..it can be gloomy, misty, foggy, and dark at times can’t it? But no matter how dark the skies become, there is something so gorgeous about the buildings, architecture, and design of the ciy that always stands out. Case in point, the beautiful surroundings on this particular gloomy day in February. And, just so you know, it was freezing! I stayed warm by layering my Zara denim shirt over a J Crew t shirt, and my bright cobalt Marc Jacobs coat kept me both warm, and happy with a needed pop of color. I last wore this gorgeous coat in THIS POST. (You can buy a Similar coat HERE) I carried my orange clutch from ASOS for an added pop of color. I have a always loved blue and orange together.This clutch was last seen in THIS POST, paired with denim. (Similar clutch HERE.) The fringe suede boots are Nine West. They were on sale, and sold out, but you can buy a similar style HERE. Stay warm!

Hello from snow buried NYC!!! As most of the world knows, NYC, and the surrounding areas of New England were covered in a blanket of snow this weekend. (The timing of “Nemo” hitting us at the start of Fashion Week was definitely NOT ideal!) But, I can’t say it’s not beautiful! Me, being the stubborn fashionista that I am, insisted on wearing my tall wedge Steve Madden boots despite the thick ice and snow. You should have seen the look on my boyfriend’s face when I emerged from the bedroom in these! We had a meeting in our neighborhood, so I figured walking a few blocks to brunch in these babies wouldn’t be bad. After all…..there is rubber on the bottom! Boy, was I wrong! All I can say is thank God for railings,parked cars, and my boyfriend to hold on to! LOL Since it was so cold, I opted to put a warm fur vest over my wool Mackage coat. I love layering vests over coats to give them a fresh look. I also love the look of fur over coats, and this is a great way to get that look without spending a ton of money. It’s also a good way to wear old coats, and make them look new again! The vest was an ebay find btw. 😉 Lastly, I wore bright blue cobalt to brighten up the black, and as you know from THIS POST, I love neon brights in Winter! How are you dressing for the storm? Tell me in the comments below.

Anyway, this has been an exciting weekend so far. My boyfriend, an up and coming actor and comedian, (and a pretty good blog photographer if I do say so myself), appeared on national television yesterday, and had host Vinnie Politan laughing in stitches on HLN’S Making it in America. If you want to laugh, click here to watch the video.

Lastly, the moment we have all been waiting for! The winner of my Asos Leopard Coat Giveaway! The winner is Annie! I will be contacting her now! Congrats Annie! The winner was picked randomly. Stay tuned for TWO more giveaways this month!!! And thanks for reading! Continue to follow me on Facebook, and Twitter for more updates and giveaways!

There is something so badass about riding a motorcycle in a skirt and heels. I had images of myself hightailing it out of NYC on my yellow bike-very Bonnie and Clyde. Too bad I don’t know how to ride bikes. 🙁

My boyfriend Chris, and his good friend Pedja had the chance to try out some awesome bikes. Although, this one was more like a cross between a bike and a car. Can’t believe it’s street legal!

My Celine bag was perfect to lug around all my stuff, and to carry around any goodies I decided to buy while there. 😉

Gorgeous handmade jewelry made from hematite. I especially loved the rainbow bracelets.

Table full of patches, and hand painted helmets…………

Of course, this pink bike caught my eye.

I even found a pink helmet to match 😉

I LOVED the Harley-Davidson art by UHL Studios! Gorgeous artwork! I was tempted to take something home!

This was one of my favorites.

The model for the painting was at the show! Too cool!

Pedja almost took this large one home………. (The painting….not me ;-))

Naturally, I was attracted to this bike with the leopard seat. LOVE the copper elements also. So retro. It’s gorgeous! I would even love to have it on display in our apt, next to my leopard coats and bags. (Chris said no to this idea. LOL)

I didn’t take any bikes home, but maybe next time. 😉 I love the pop of floral in my skirt against the black I was wearing. I love mixing things like black motorcycle boots with floral patterns to combine masculine with feminine. I thought this was the perfect look for a bike show.
XOXOXO

As I have told you before………I LOVE leopard. So, when these Stuart Weitzman backflip booties in leopard went on sale at Zappos, I had to buy them! Truthfully, I had been lusting after these boots since last year, but the price tag stopped me. When they went on sale though, I had to cave! And, believe it or not, they are comfortable! And, they match perfectly with my J Crew Edie clutch that I also scored on sale. Sadly, the leopard version is sold out now, but similar gorgeous leopard clutches are HERE, and HERE. Today was actually a beautiful, warm day in NYC. By warm, I mean 50s, but it’s January! That feels like Summer to me!! It gave me a chance to rock my Balenciaga quilted jacket, with a fur vest on top. Again, for GREAT PRICES on Balenciaga, visit HG BAGS!! Email Erica and tell her you read about her site on my blog! Her prices are half off retail!! Too bad next week is back to cold. LOL Happy Weekend!
